This is easily remedied by a simple permissions change on /usr/local/bin but it might be good to acknowledge that this might be required.

I got it installed with make after giving my user permission to write to /usr/local/bin but it still can't build anything:

rick@Rick-M1 ~ % mint install realm/SwiftLint 
🌱 Finding latest version of SwiftLint
🌱 Cloning SwiftLint 0.42.0
🌱 Resolving package
🌱 Building package
Error: You don’t have permission to save the file “0.42.0” in the folder “build”.

I'm sure it's just a permissions issue with the build folder but I have no idea what folder it's even talking about or where mint stores any of it's files.

[Rick Gigger]

ok, had I read the instructions closer I would have realized that the default MINT_PATH was /usr/local/lib/mint. For whatever reason /usr/local/lib was not present on my system and /usr/local is not writable by default to my user. Creating /usr/local/lib/mint manually make making it writing to me solved this problem.

If the error message had said where the "build" folder was it would have been easier to track down what was going on.
